What Do You Mean I Can't Hunt Hoodies?

Now I am confused. After the riots I was told children were 'feral animals' but now it seems we should go back to hugging hoodies not hunting them as they really want 'time not stuff' (by time they don't mean serving time). I can't say I'm convinced as there's no mention of sweet addiction in a recent

study by Unicef, comparing families in the UK, Sweden and Spain, [that] found UK parents buying high status brands to "protect" their children from bullying. Parents in the UK struggled to spend enough time with their children. [UK families face consumer pressure, says report BBC News]

Dig Deep for Oil Relief

Despite announcing Big Profits[1] the poor and disadvantaged big gas & oil companies are hurting. This is an Esso S, everyone dig hard into your pockets and Shell out for Oil Relief. We need your government’s Total commitment. (All puns intended)

According to an article in today's Financial Times " The new Seven Sisters: oil and gas giants dwarf western rivals [2]": “The International Energy Agency, the developed world’s sectoral watchdog, calculates that 90 per cent of new supplies will come from developing countries in the next 40 years." This is a cause for concern.

Except for our nice friends the Saudi’s, who give corruption, repression and absolutism, new meaning[3]. We like to do business with these kinda guys and pull out all the stops to make it so, as Blair recently showed by pulling the plug on the Serious Fraud Office’s investigation into the BAE, Saudi arms deal.[4]
